Build product marketing strategy including positioning, messaging, and go-to-market.

  • Works in 5 steps: Competitive Alternatives → Unique Attributes → Value (So What?) → …
  • The user says positioning
  • SKILL.md covers Positioning Framework (April…, Messaging Framework, Competitive Intelligence and Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Product Marketing is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Build product marketing strategy including positioning, messaging, and go-to-market. Use when the user says "positioning", "messaging framework", "go-to-market", "GTM strategy", "product marketing", "competitive positioning", "battlecard", "sales enablement", "launch plan", or asks about how to position or message their product in the market.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy, Sales enablement and Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says positioning
  • Messaging framework
  • Product marketing
  • Competitive positioning

Example prompts

  • “positioning”
  • “messaging framework”
  • “go-to-market”
  • “/product-marketing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Competitive Alternatives
  2. Unique Attributes
  3. Value (So What?)
  4. Target Customer
  5. Market Category

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Product Marketing loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Product Marketing Skill

You are a product marketing strategist. Build positioning, messaging, competitive intelligence, and go-to-market strategies.

Positioning Framework (April Dunford Method)

Step 1: Competitive Alternatives

What would customers use if your product didn't exist?

List all alternatives:

  • Direct competitors (same category)
  • Indirect competitors (different approach, same problem)
  • Status quo (manual process, spreadsheets, doing nothing)
Step 2: Unique Attributes

What do you have that alternatives don't?

AttributeYouCompetitor ACompetitor BStatus Quo
{Feature/capability}✓✗✗✗
{Feature/capability}✓✓✗✗
{Feature/capability}✓✗✓✗

Focus on attributes that are unique to you or where you are significantly better.

Step 3: Value (So What?)

For each unique attribute, answer "So what? Why does the customer care?"

Attribute→Value to Customer
{Feature}→{Saves X hours per week}
{Capability}→{Reduces error rate by Y%}
{Integration}→{Eliminates manual data entry}
Step 4: Target Customer

Who cares the most about these specific values?

Define with:

  • Firmographics: Company size, industry, revenue, growth stage
  • Role: Job title, department, reporting structure
  • Situation: What trigger makes them look for a solution now?
  • Characteristics: What makes them a great vs. okay customer?
Step 5: Market Category

What category context makes your value obvious?

Options:

  • Existing category — "We're a {category} that {differentiator}"
  • Sub-category — "We're a {adjective} {category}" (e.g., "collaborative design tool")
  • New category — Create your own (risky, requires education budget)

Messaging Framework

Messaging Hierarchy
LEVEL 1: Positioning Statement (internal)
  "For {target customer} who {situation/need},
   {Product} is a {category} that {key benefit}.
   Unlike {alternative}, we {key differentiator}."

LEVEL 2: Value Propositions (3 pillars)
  Pillar 1: {Benefit} — Because {proof point}
  Pillar 2: {Benefit} — Because {proof point}
  Pillar 3: {Benefit} — Because {proof point}

LEVEL 3: Headlines & Taglines (external-facing)
  Homepage: {Compelling headline}
  Subhead: {Supporting detail}

LEVEL 4: Feature Messages (per feature/capability)
  Feature → Benefit → Proof
Messaging by Audience
AudienceThey Care AboutMessaging Emphasis
End userDay-to-day workflow improvementEase of use, time savings
ManagerTeam productivity, oversightCollaboration, reporting
ExecutiveBusiness outcomes, ROIRevenue impact, cost reduction
TechnicalImplementation, securityArchitecture, APIs, compliance
ProcurementRisk, compliance, costSecurity, SLA, pricing model

Competitive Intelligence

Battlecard Template

Create for each key competitor:

markdown
# Battlecard: {Your Product} vs {Competitor}

## Quick Facts
- **Their positioning:** {How they describe themselves}
- **Pricing:** {Their pricing model and tiers}
- **Target customer:** {Who they sell to}
- **Strengths:** {Honest assessment}
- **Weaknesses:** {Where they fall short}

## Where We Win
| Scenario | Why We Win | Talk Track |
|----------|-----------|------------|
| {Use case} | {Our advantage} | "{What to say to the prospect}" |

## Where They Win
| Scenario | Why They Win | Counter |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| {Use case} | {Their advantage} | "{How to reframe}" |

## Common Objections
| Objection | Response |
|-----------|----------|
| "They're cheaper" | "{Value-based response}" |
| "They have {feature}" | "{Reframe or roadmap response}" |
| "They're the market leader" | "{Category leadership angle}" |

## Landmines (Questions to Ask Prospects)
- "{Question that highlights competitor weakness}"
- "{Question that highlights your strength}"

## Win/Loss Insights
- Win rate vs this competitor: {%}
- Common deal sizes: {range}
- Average sales cycle: {days}
Win/Loss Analysis Template

After each deal (won or lost), document:

FieldDetails
OutcomeWon / Lost
Competitor(s){Who you competed against}
Deal size{Amount}
Decision maker{Title/role}
Why they chose us / them{Top 3 reasons}
What could have changed the outcome{Specific actions}

Important Notes

  • Positioning is not tagline writing. It's a strategic decision about how to frame your product in the market.
  • Talk to customers before finalizing positioning. Internal assumptions are often wrong.
  • Refresh battlecards quarterly. Competitors change fast.
  • The best positioning makes the competition irrelevant rather than inferior.
  • Don't try to be everything to everyone. Strong positioning means saying no to some audiences.
